Marisol

While dreaming of seeing her house finally completed, Marisol works every day in her cosmetics store as well as in her telephone call centre. She began work as a representative selling one brand of cosmetics, but then gradually bought stock so that she always had items available. At that point she decided to move from the small general store she ran to a shop specializing in cosmetics. She worked in the general store for one year but it wasn’t profitable, and it was also a worry to have her two small children so far away from her place of work. This was the reason she changed her business. Also, six months ago, she set up a telephone centre in her shop. She plans to invest some of her earnings, and the rest she will save for any emergencies that may arise.
